Legally, JLR must try to either repair the problem (one try to do this), or replace the vehicle.
If they can't do that, then you should get a depreciated refund...
So it sounds like they're kinda ... |

I placed my deposit back in 2022.
JLR then dragged out the build for an entire YEAR, during which time, they changed model configurations, removed some important standard equipment AND BUMPED UP TH ... |

having the car float isn’t at all a good outcome.
Thus, sticking to the widely published 900mm wading depth appears more than sensible.

Ha! What a coincidence! (and what a good memory you have!).
It definitely had a dink or two from us plonkers trying to navigate this rock-garden.
I really liked the full leather spec though! |

The LR nerds on several Landrover experience days I've been to have shared the same fact - the wading depth is actually governed more by the vehicle's bouyancy than engine breathing limits.

If it's comfort and kids and commutes, long driving holidays, more road-bound with offroad jaunts.. the new one is surely the better ve ... |

A couple of friends and I did a full day in Dunkeld (fantastic facility). This vehicle is without a doubt an offroader.

Today I noticed mine idling a little higher/louder than usual at a traffic light..
Coincidence - or was there a recent OTA update? |

LR positioned it as a "luxury adventure vehicle" rather than a "proper 4x4," which created this weird stigma.
